New Homes in Daybreak Springs, Elkhorn NE
Daybreak Springs sits at 192nd Street and Fort Street in Elkhorn, on the fast-growing western edge of the Omaha metro. What makes it the easiest Regency community to evaluate is simple: our Elkhorn model home is here. You can walk a finished, fully decorated home before you commit to a floor plan, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of building. The community itself is built around green space access, with golf nearby at Indian Creek and a location along the Fort Street corridor, which is in the middle of the Fort Street Improvement Project’s infrastructure upgrades.
It also sits in the Elkhorn School District, the biggest single reason families pick this part of the metro. If Elkhorn schools are on your requirements list, Daybreak Springs puts you in the district with a model home you can tour this week.
Why Families Build in Daybreak Springs
The model home is the practical draw. Most people building their first custom or semi-custom home have never stood inside the floor plan they’re considering, and photos only get you so far. At Daybreak Springs you can walk the Peyton 1822 model, see the finish levels in person, and talk through options with a New Home Counselor on-site, all before any paperwork.
The schools are the deeper draw. Elkhorn Public Schools serves roughly 11,455 students across 20 schools and ranks in the top 1% of Nebraska’s 245 districts on combined math and reading proficiency, with 86% math proficiency against a 58% state average and a 98% graduation rate. In 2026, US News ranked all three Elkhorn high schools (Elkhorn South, Elkhorn North, and Elkhorn High) in the top 3 in the state. Few metro areas anywhere offer that concentration of school quality in one district.
Location rounds it out. The 192nd and Fort position puts you minutes from the Maple Street corridor for daily errands, close to Indian Creek’s 27 holes on the west side, and within a short drive of West Dodge for the commute across the metro. The Fort Street Improvement Project means the corridor in front of the community is being upgraded, not left behind by the area’s growth.

The Regency Building Process
Building a home involves more decisions than most buyers expect. Here’s how Regency structures it:
Step 1 — Choose Your Lot and Plan. You’ll work with a New Home Counselor to select a lot in Daybreak Springs and choose a floor plan from our Trilogy, Encore, or Forever collections. Starting at the model home makes this step concrete: you’re standing in the quality level you’re buying. For Trilogy buyers, this is also where structural adjustments happen, before estimates are finalized.
Step 2 — Design Selections. Regency provides an extensive selection guide booklet that walks you through every finish decision. You’ll visit vendor showrooms to select cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and more, with pre-construction meetings that keep you involved before the build starts.
Step 3 — Construction and Communication. Your dedicated construction superintendent manages the build on-site. You’ll have frequent contact with your New Home Counselor throughout, plus scheduled job site meetings so you can see progress firsthand.
Most Trilogy Collection homes run about 5–7 months from contract to closing under normal conditions. Your superintendent will give you a realistic schedule at kickoff, not an estimate that slips.
5 Questions to Ask Any New Home Builder in Elkhorn
Before you sign with any builder, these are worth asking directly:
1. Can I walk a finished home before I commit?
At Daybreak Springs, yes: the Peyton 1822 model is open five days a week. If a builder can’t show you a finished product, you’re buying from renderings.
2. Who manages my build on-site, and how do I reach them?
With Regency, you’re assigned a dedicated construction superintendent from groundbreaking to walk-through. They’re the person you call, and they answer.
3. Are design selections handled before or after I sign?
At Regency, finish selections happen before construction starts, not as change orders after you’re committed. Changes mid-build cost more and cause delays at every builder, so handling them upfront protects you.
4. What’s actually included in the base price?
Ask for an itemized spec sheet. Some builders advertise low base prices and upgrade everything. At Regency, the standard specs are clearly defined before you select upgrades.
5. How long has this builder been operating in this market?
Regency has been building in the Omaha metro since 1961, over 6,000 homes across 60-plus years. In a market as competitive as Elkhorn, longevity and local track record matter when you’re choosing who to trust with a 5–7 month project.
About Elkhorn, NE
Elkhorn sits on the west edge of the Omaha metro and kept its own city government until Omaha annexed it in 2007 after a fight that went to the Nebraska Supreme Court. It still feels like its own town: Olde Towne Elkhorn keeps a brick-paved Main Street of shops and restaurants, the Elkhorn River runs along the community’s edge with tubing and kayaking outfitters in season, and Indian Creek’s 27-hole public course anchors the west side.
The schools are the headline. Elkhorn Public Schools ranks in the top 1% of Nebraska districts, and in 2026 US News placed all three of its high schools in the state’s top 3. That, plus quick access to West Dodge and the metro, is why Elkhorn consistently draws families comparing new-construction suburbs.
